Ah, you beat me to it!
But, I'll add:
And the base of that descent is the end of the ride, and a nice cold beer awaits.

Maybe it was REW--think it was his yearbook pic that year.

Did anyone mention puppies and kittens?
Kids running just because they have too much energy to walk
A motorcycle, a long windy road, and no traffic in front
Flying an airplane, especially that moment when the wheels leave the ground
Landing an airplane, and (rarely) doing it so well I'm not quite sure of the instant the wheels touch the ground
Lasagna
DW, a fire in the fireplace, and a bottle of wine
Lots of things, this list could get pretty long

In this vein, kids on any playground where they are just so noisy with their "outside voices" during their play. Not sure when we lose that yelling tendency as soon as we step outside, but it makes me smile.
And kids who are a little too old but who come trick or treating anyway, even if not in costume, even if they are just getting candy, hanging on to childhood as long as they can, because it is almost over, make me smile too. I don't mind sacrificing a Snickers bar to that.

Fields of lavender, roasting coffee, Vivaldi first thing in the morning and at the top of my list pre-warmed socks in winter (something my adorable DH does for me occasionally in January).

Also- crossing the finish line of a marathon....in the upright position

My kitten and dog (and other puppies and kittens)
Memories of my grandparents
Memories of my brother and myself as youngsters
Enjoying a drink or two.... with DH

I thought the big fun of this would be thinking of things that make me smile. Reading the responses of others has been really, really fun....and made me smile, bigtime.

Our cats, our sons, my DH doing his underwear dance or talking with the cats, the first cup of coffee in the morning, the birds lined up on the fence for the bird feeder, finishing projects, Home Depot, and when I find knots....that ALWAYS makes me smile

Okay, I have to ask - "underwear dance"? Or maybe we don't want to know....

DW, DDs and DC*
Tomorrow's Friday and I'll be going for a run after I put my daughters on the school bus - I'm deliberately picking a route that let's me look down on the rush hour traffic taking all the non-retirees to work.
